04Process
From request to closure, every step in view.
Steps and responsibilities are clear from the start. The brand knows what it will receive and when; the site knows what to expect.
Request and pre-assessment
Audit type, scope, the standard or checklist to use, site details and date window are confirmed. We check for anything that could affect impartiality.
Planning
An auditor suited to the region and subject is assigned, the number of days is set, and the site is informed as the audit type requires (announced, semi-announced or unannounced).
On-site audit
It begins with an opening meeting, followed by a site tour, document review and worker interviews held without management present.
At the closing meeting the findings are explained to site management and expectations for corrective action are shared.
Reporting
Findings are reported with evidence and severity ratings, in the brand's format or in our own digital system. Zero-tolerance findings are reported immediately, without waiting for the report.
CAP follow-up
The site prepares a corrective action plan for every finding. OBCO reviews the plan and tracks progress against its timeline.
Verification and closure
Fixes are verified by evidence review or a follow-up audit. Verified findings are closed, and anything still open is reported to the brand.
05Why OBCO
An audit does not end with the report; we follow the findings until they close.

07Knowledge centre
Standards, regulation and preparation guides.
For suppliers preparing for an audit and brands running a supply chain; dated, sourced, plain.
- 01Guide What is a social compliance audit? A social compliance audit is an independent assessment that checks, through document review, a site tour and worker interviews, whether working conditions, occupational health and safety and business ethics at a production site meet local law, the buyer’s code of conduct and internationally recognised social compliance criteria.
- 02Guide Social audit preparation checklist To be ready for a social compliance audit, a workshop needs complete and mutually consistent personnel and social security records, payroll and time records, overtime consents, OHS documents, safe site conditions and informed workers before the auditor arrives.
- 03Guide Most common findings in subcontractor workshops The most common findings in subcontractor workshops are excessive overtime, unregistered workers, missing age documents, blocked exits, missing machine guards, inadequate first aid, wage and overtime calculation errors, unauthorised subcontracting and a missing risk assessment.
01Who pays for the audit?
It depends on the brand's programme: some brands pay for audits themselves, others ask the supplier to pay. When a supplier commissions a pre-audit or training, the supplier pays.
02How long does an on-site audit take?
Usually one to two auditor-days. The exact duration depends on headcount, site size and audit scope, and is set during planning.
03What is the difference between announced and unannounced audits?
In an announced audit the date is shared in advance; in an unannounced audit there is no notice at all. A semi-announced audit gives a time window but not the exact day. The brand decides which applies.
04Which documents should I prepare?
The essentials are personnel files, social security filings, the last 12 months of payroll and time records, workplace permits, the health and safety risk assessment, the emergency plan and drill records. Any extra brand requirements are shared during planning.
05What happens if a zero-tolerance issue is found?
It is reported to the brand immediately, without waiting for the report. What happens next, such as urgent remediation or suspending business, is decided by the brand under its own policy.
